Chapter 2: First-Time Configuration
Overview
First-time-only configuration involves setting the basic network parameters and ensuring that the SG200
and software are working properly. To do this, use one of the following methods:
•
Connect the SG200 to a PC and configure it using a Web browser, then relocate the SG200 to its final
destination in the network.
Use this method if you want to use one person to configure the SG200 and you do not want to use a
standalone serial terminal or terminal emulator. This person must be in the same location as the
SG200. See
Section A: “Configuring the SG200 with a Web Browser
•
Place the SG200 into its final destination in the network, then configure it using either a direct serial
port connection or a remote Web browser setup.
Use this method under the following circumstances:
❐
You want to place the SG200 directly into the network and use a standalone serial terminal or
terminal emulator to configure it. See
Section C: “Initial Configuration Using a Direct Serial Port
❐
You want to use two people to configure the appliance—one who enters the configuration
parameters from a remote location and another who places the SG200 into the network and
finalizes the configuration by clicking a generated URL. See
Section D: “Configuring the SG200 from
After first-time configuration is complete, log on to the SG200 and use the command-line interface (CLI) or
Management Console to fully configure the system. See
Section E: “Logging on to the SG200
